What’s in my bag? ♡

We all know a person’s bag reveals much about their personality…from it’s contents to the bag itself! Sometimes finding the perfect one can be tricky, especially if like me – you want to literally fit in every possible item you might need during the day! Here is a little sneak peak into the daily contents of my bag – my newly-founded ‘Aldo’ treasure!

First things first…the bag itself! I purchased it about two months ago from ‘Aldo’ and haven’t used anything else since. I wanted something for every-day that would fit all my essentials plus have room for those larger extras like a jumper or laptop. And as soon as I tried this on, I knew it was the one.

My favourite thing about this bag is definitely it’s design! It has three large compartments inside perfect for dividing up your things. Plus, two sections are sealed at the top with a zip for extra protection. The material is lovely and soft, and doesn’t look ‘bulky’ when on. I love it’s versatility; being black it goes with everything and it’s the perfect size for every-day but can also be used when travelling or carrying larger items. The black and gold looks stunning, and I think it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is! While it is an investment, I know the quality of the bag means it’s going to last, and it’s classic design and colour means I’m going to love it for years to come.

I always bring a powder and concealer with me, just in case of an emergency – and this powder comes with a sponge applicator so it’s perfect for touching up during the day. I love wearing perfume and body mists, and both the roll-on fragrance from Evodia and Victoria’s Secret mist are lovely and convenient for keeping in my bag! I also make sure to bring lip balm and sunscreen to keep my lips and skin hydrated and protected.

You’ve probably realised I love black accessories! I adore this wallet from Colette as it’s only $22.95, the perfect size and it matches my bag perfectly! I always bring essentials like water (gotta stay hydrated), chewing gum, my phone and a notebook – just in case I get creative and think of ideas while I’m out! And finally, my absolute favourite sunglasses from Portmans which literally suit every single person who puts them on. I tried on a pair of my friends and fell in love…two weeks later and I’ve got a pair of my own!
